TIF @ YMPC
I did a TIF with another flying school here. Very nice VFR flying that can be done If you head northwest of the aerodrome. Circuits are also fun as you are commonly there with CT4As and sometimes PC9s as well.

Visit to Point Cook.
They have a museum of aviation that is worth a look and coin operated BBQ's. You need to get permission before going here but the fee in nominal and you can do circuit practice all you want. It's a very clean and well kept airfield and has superb runways. Some flight schools use this place for circuit training. The pier at the south end is blocked and you can't go on it. I hear they did some filming of Mad Max or Road Warrior movie here at the water tank in the 80's.
